city council, incumbent michael brown was defeated by david grosso, the independent newcomer bested brown by 20,000 votes. brown's campaign was alleged improprieties of nonprofits he was associated with, and grosso also seized on brown's tax paying record as well. voters also approved ethics related changes to the city charter. the council members can now vote to jettison a fellow member who's found derelict in duty or in personal conduct, and an elected official with a felony on his or her head can now be barred from running for office again and then kicked out of that office. those will become amendments to the d.c. charter. other county races include phil mendelson, who will return to continue for two years as chair of the council, a seat he assumed after kwame brown, a former chair, had bank fraud charges. also, vincent orange will be returning to an at large seat on the council. council members barry, evans, bowser, and alexander all returns as well as nonvoting house representative eleanor holmes-norton. >>> casey will head back for four years. casey beat republican millionaire tom
